https://twitter.com/bamwxcom/status/1244615810750054400?s=20 getting late early again this year.....no nh3 on and many fields of wheat not even top dressed yet. water standing everywhere. thought after last year we might get a break this time.....harldy
We have been pretty lucky here in WC Illinois. Hope it dries out for you soon ! I know what it feels like to be way too wet after last year, We had 2 good days in the field 3 weeks ago. Drying up here now and we may be able to work in a few days. Next chance of rain is around Friday. Drove south 50 miles and it was much wetter. Fields had standing water in places
Precip the last 30 days.
Heavier rains just barely south of you bowyer.
This year and last year both had pretty wet soils at this time of year, with 2019 actually a bit wetter.
But what matters is the April/May weather.
Had approx. 2" day ago
No standing water today unless somebodies farm needs tile, so soil is not water logged
We don't usually start anything up here before April 15-20 and some times 1st of May
Soil is firm but has that wet sad feel to it
Need some sun, warm and a bit of wind would really help
Sort of a light mist today
Not good for drying out soil
Stay healthy, some day it will be go time
Here's how the soil moisture progressed last year from March to June 2019..........it never dried out.
